So I decided to fix some minor non treatening things on my computer like rewiring the front panel of my PC so my power button isn't my reset button anymore and getting a fan to work. It all went well and the computer worked normally for a good 10 minutes until it just randomly turned off and now refuses to turn back on. I thought it was a heating problem so I felt around the PSU and CPU to feel for anything but there were no extreme temperatures. My next thought was that I'd blown my PSU by overloading it with a new fan and some LEDs yet when I plug in the PC I still get the power LED on my mobo (I also swapped the PSU over with a higher output spare, still didn't fix it). I've removed every single component from my PC apart from the CPU, a single stick of RAM, CPU fan and the boot HDD but it still isn't turning on. I have a feeling that the mobo (Asus P8Z77-V LX) may have died even though the power LED still works properly on it.
I've also tried resetting CMOS, holding down the power button for specific amounts of time and reseating all the components
Can anyone confirm my suspicions?
Your mucking around probably caused something to short out, or you plugged something into somewhere it shouldn't be plugged and blew something out.
Try pulling out the GPU and unplugging all of the power connectors from everything besides the motherboard. Also disconnect whatever you did in the front panel besides the power switch and then try powering the machine on.
Already done all that, nothings different.
